ellitor 33,062 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Gus can't close the deal on his top choice(s) at QB. He's had many seasons to do it and hasn't managed it thus far. Yes, he's gotten Woody, Sean, and Jeremy...but those were not first choice guys like Watson, Harris, and the french sounding guy that went to FSU a couple of years ago. There have been others. If Gatewood sticks, it'll be his first. Incorrect on Francois part & Gatewood being the first. Tyler Queen was the staff's #1 QB target in the 2015 class & we took him very early. We did not really start going after Francois or a 2nd QB in that class til after TQ's baseball injury in the Spring before his Sr year. Also JJ may have been the #1 target in 2013 too. I don't remember us pushing for any of the other QBs we offered in that class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember us pushing for any of the other QBs we offered in that class Wasn't JJ a high target of Loeffler, and he became a high priority for Gus b/c he didn't have a lot of time and already had a previous connection? Seems like it took a few weeks for Gus to actually offer JJ b/c he had other targets to exhaust first? I remember Francois being later in the process a few years ago, but we needed him and when it came to crunch time, Gus couldn't get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoundationEagle 637 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 https://www.seccount...oosing-texas-am Mond says Coach Mazzone was the key factor.... lol So Sumlin & Mazzone beat Gus and Rhett for a QB. Ouch. Mazzone? :dunno:/> :lmao:/> Yeah he spurned a Malzahn offense for a Mazzone offense. Ouch is right. If people are actually gullible to believe it. That quote was all Aggie spin. The real reason he picked aTm was the in state pressure from the aTm network of supporters. I know its spin but damn it makes AU look bad. Mazzone. LOL. And Mond didn't pick A&M because of the network. That is the AU spin. Edit......Let's not go there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMan70 3,277 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 This entire thing got started because Kellen Mond chose A&M over us and now some think we're looking at Tray Bishop as our next in line QB target. I'm asking people here who think that the negative recruiting against us on this issue has merit why they don't apply the same standard of thinking to our rivals, including the very team Mond just picked over us. The facts as you state them are exactly right. There is just as much to criticize our rivals about on QB development as there is with us. I'm not sure why some on the thread don't see that but I do know this. The reason our rivals can take advantage of these facts, even though they have some of the same issues, is that they are willing to use it to negative recruit against us. That's why it's an issue. We just have to be willing to use it too and/or have success with more HS QBs. A successful SW would go a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,062 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Something seems strange at Batram Trail here. They apparently have 3 QBs that are likely to go to college from the 2017 & 2018 classes including Joey. The 2017 QB just committed to Gardner Webb. The other 2018 QB besides Joey is getting a big push from the BT twitter account. He has visited places like UF & FSU lately. If I was 1 of the 2018 QBs I would seriously look into trying to transfer. Also the BT account has tweeted & RTed stuff about the other QBs but not Joey.

I searched for the 2018 QB and found him but I cannot see anything that would suggest he would jump Gatewood. Just that he has been attending the camp scene.

Joey's stats were less than 70 yards passing a game & over 70 rushing a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
